Hi all,<br />
<br />
From perusing some of the other questions on this topic, it seems the feature for changing the background of a video is called &quot;Chroma Key&quot;. <br />
<br />
But why do people choose the color green, and not some other color like white or blue? Is there an advantage to using the color green? And is there a particular shade of green that's better?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

Changing background of video - why green?

Multimedia applications are those programs that integrate more than one media at a time; browsers are the most obvious. However, the term has come to include the use of programs that enable the use of any component that isn’t simple text and static graphics, such as audio, video, animation, virtual reality, conferencing and monitoring.
